Agenda

DDoS Mitigation Techniques (pdf) (Video)
Denial of Service attacks don’t have to be a service impacting event for you. With the right preparation, you can limit your exposure to DDoS attacks and keep your network online during an attack. In this presentation, we’ll review common attack types, attack analysis, mitigation techniques and methods of securing your network. From simple volumetric floods to complex Layer 7 attacks, we’ll discuss real-world examples and how you can handle them.

SDN/NFV and the Dataplane (pdf) (Video)
Discussion of Overlay architectures versus Fabric Programming and the Underlying Transport Network that services it all. We will look at dataplane architectures in a new SDN:NFV based network including central programming of flows versus overlay architectures versus the effects of service chaining on packet flow. The highly virtualized datacenter does change the overall packet flow as we move from North/South Architectures to East/West. How does this change our designs on how we look at networking in the Data Center.
